In the mid 1900s, human population has been increasing exponentially in the central of New York City. In response to mass population, high cost of city center land, and the need to access a park after hours, the Greenarce Park was designed and built by Hideo Sasaki and with the help of DeMay Associates, Masao Kinoshita and Tom Wirth.  One of the reasons why I chose this park is because in the heart of New York City, Greenarce Park has a waterfall in the middle of it all. This park is covered with massive and lush plants and a waterfall at the entrance to greet its guests. This park creates a environment that separates from the busy, live, and condense environment that New York portrays. In a way, this park allows one to escape from congested and loud environment. Sasaki created a vibrate and soft landscape to contrast the brick and steel adjacent buildings. Specifically, the waterfall eliminates the sound of traffic by how it cascades down the wall and leads down to the main fountain of the park. Greenarce Park plays a significant role in creating a separate space that isolates from the dense and highly populated areas of New York City.
